I Love Conference!

October 3, 2011 by Megan Admin

The Conference center in Salt Lake City, Utah

President Deiter F. Uchdorf gave a wonderful talk about forgetting me not. There are so many things in life that we need to put in the right priority. I love the prophets and the spirit they bring in my life. General Conference is such a good way to learn and receive direction in life.

Following the Crowd…or not.

October 2, 2011 by Megan Admin

I have decided there are millions of things everyday that we just simply don’t consider. We simply go about our life living how we live because that is the way we’ve always done it, or because it is normal, or socially acceptable, or perhaps it is because we are following the traditions of our fathers and anything out of the ordinary or different scares us like crazy. It’s true. I’m terrified of doing things blindly…going out on a limb without seeing someone else go first. I love learning from others but when it comes to being creative and ingenuitive it is difficult especially if the terrain is unfamiliar. However I have also come to realize that those things that I have done that are different or scary are usually the most rewarding.

That is why when I first saw a documentary about using a midwife instead of going to a regular hospital I started considering the idea. The documentary is called “Pregnant in America”.  Although it sounds super scary because I’ve always imagined that the hospital is the way to go because that is what my parents did and what is on all the tv shows. However the more I have researched it the more I realize that there are people around me that have children naturally in their homes, there are people that home school, and there are people that don’t vote republican or democrat because that is their party but research the best candidate and vote for who they think will do the best job despite whether that person will win or not.

I guess what I’m saying is just because everyone else may think I’m being stupid. I really don’t care. I want to live my life knowing that I researched my choices and made the right ones. That I didn’t just follow the crowd to be accepted but that I knew what I was doing and made the best choice I could. Because then and only then  in the end I can say that I did my best and not just followed what everyone else said.

The Love of my Life

May 21, 2011 by Megan Admin

On May 6th my boyfriend proposed to me. You could say this is quite exciting. We had been dating since the beginning of February. I met him in January when I moving home from BYU-Idaho. He just happened to live across the hall from me. After meeting him, there didn’t seem to be a day that I didn’t see him. (of course he was my neighbor) but he kept coming over to visit. I loved it. If he didn’t come over he would throw a raquetball against our door…and of course I would go see who it was… or at night him and his roommate would knock loudly on the wall. You would be amazed at the conversations you can have through a wall. I even got him to go country dancing. amazing since he had never gone before. I was anxiously waiting for him to ask me out and after about three weeks he did. Shortly after that we started dating. We would play basketball together or go running or just chill at the apartment. We started cooking some meals together. He even came to Gaucho Grill to see me while I was working.  We would also go swimming or play games.  Later he invited me to go to conference with him. I was going down for my mission reunion. So we went and I got to meet a lot of his family. I even got to go shopping with some of his sisters and his mom. I had a lot of fun. I was beginning to wonder when he was going to propose… we were even tricked into going ring shopping with Nate and Lori. Which was good. I decided then that I didn’t want to choose my ring. Anyway… that next weekend my roommate Jessica asked if I wanted her to take pictures with her. She had found a new spot and wanted to practice.  After we were headed up to the spot she had chosen… I noticed that it looked quite familiar. My boy and I had gone running here before. As we neared the trail head i noticed a balloon at the entrance. There was also a biker and I remember thinking. ” Is there a bike race going on?” As I neared the balloon i saw that it had a note that had my name on it. With my favorite candy bar. So CUTE!!! I saw up ahead another balloon. As I neared it there was another favorite candy bar. As I continued each stop had a balloon with a note and something. the next one was a little book on eternal marriage…the next was a coupon for a date to pizza pie cafe that night with “My Boy”. The next one was a rubix cube. On each square he had placed a letter. I solved the rubix cube and it spelt out various things: megan’s pretty, she loves her boy, taco bell okay. I kept going up the trail. With each station  I got such sweat and creative notes with something.  I got a new journal to write about me and my boyfriend. then lastly there was a rose and a collage of us….and more balloons. He came walking out of the trees with a laptop. He set it down and put some music on with it. then he got down on one knee and explaining that he doesn’t kneel in front of many people… he asked if I would be his forever. I can’t even explain what I was feeling then…but i knew that I wanted to be his forever. Of course the answer was yes. He gave me a beautiful diamond ring…then waited. He skipped to the next song on the computer. are you gonna kiss me or not. We danced. Then he dipped me and kissed me. 🙂 That song was followed by another off of tanged I see the light, Then from enchanted so close,  then lastly  I will be calling you by blue october. It was so great. I have never been so happy in my life.
I am so excited to be married to him. He is a wonderful man and I know we are going to make each other very happy.

Good Quotes

Doctor Zhivago

I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn’t of much value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.

Smith Logan Pearsall 1865-1946
Afterthoughts

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

Trudell Dennis
Sloppy, raggedy-assed old life. I love it. I never want to die.
Twain Mark 1835-1910

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

Twain Mark 1835-1910

When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

Hesburgh Rev. Theodore

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Johnston Jennifer 1930-

We are constantly at risk from the people we love most. They are, after all, the only people who can do us serious damage. 

Creighton Bishop
Never laugh feebly at what you know is wrong.

Nietzsche Friedrich 1844-1900
One is healthy when one can laugh at the earnestness and zeal with which one has been hypnotized by any single detail of one’s life.

Dobie J. Frank
Luck is being ready for the chance.

 Leacock Stephen 1869-1944
I’m a great believer in luck. I find the
harder I work, the more I have of it.
